TABLE NOTES

The statistics in this table were estimated from day 1 and day 2 dietary recall interviews conducted in What We Eat in America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES) 2013-2016. Trained interviewers, using the USDA 5-step Automated Multiple-Pass Method, conducted the 24-hour dietary recalls. The day 1 recalls were conducted in-person; theday 2 recalls were conducted by telephone 3-10 days after the day 1 recall. Food intakes were coded and nutrient values determined using the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for DietaryStudies 2013-2014 and 2015-2016.

The table includes data from individuals 1 year and over, excluding breast-fed children and pregnant or lactating females. Breast-fed children are excluded because human milk is not quantifiedin dietary recall interviews. The sample of pregnant and lactating females is not large enough to allow for reliable estimates.

Sample weights designed for dietary analysis were used to allow estimates representative of the U.S. population for the years of collection.

The assessments presented in this table cover nutrient intakes from food and beverages (including water) and therefore, are not total nutrient intakes. They do not contain intakes from dietarysupplements or medications.

Usual Nutrient Intakes

Usual intakes (expressed on a per day basis) are an estimate of the usual or habitual intake over the long term, as opposed to what was reported on the days surveyed. The National CancerInstitute (NCI) Method https://epi.grants.cancer.gov/diet/usualintakes/method.html was used to produce group usual intake distributions. Information on this distribution is presented as mean andpercentiles of usual nutrient intake with standard errors for a specific gender/age/lifestyle group.

When applicable, the estimated usual nutrient intakes are compared to age/gender specific Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)http://nationalacademies.org/HMD/Activities/Nutrition/SummaryDRIs/DRI-Tables.aspx. The DRIs, nutrient reference values developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies,are used to assess and plan the diets of healthy people. Estimates of percentages less than, within range of, or greater than the DRI, plus the standard error are presented for eachage/gender/lifestyle group.

The estimated distributions of usual contributions to energy are derived using the same univariate usual intake methodology employed for individual nutrients. These distributions represent thelong-term daily relationship of the specific nutrient with total energy intake. When applicable, these distributions are compared to age-specific Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges(AMDRs). Individuals with nonzero energy intake for at least one day of intake were excluded.

DRI Definitions

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR): The average daily nutrient intake level that is estimated to meet the requirements of half of the healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gendergroup. The EAR is used to estimate the prevalence of inadequate intakes in a population group.

Adequate Intake (AI): The recommended average daily intake level based on observed or experimentally determined approximations or estimates of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) ofapparently healthy people that are assumed to be adequate.

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): The highest average daily nutrient intake level that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population. Asintake increases above the UL, the potential risk of adverse effects may increase. For most nutrients, the UL is based on contribution from food/beverages and dietary supplements; however, theUL estimates in this table are based on intakes from food and beverages only.

Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intake (CDRR): Reductions in intake that exceed the CDRR are expected to reduce chronic disease risk within the apparently healthy population. Establishedfor sodium using evidence of the beneficial effect of reducing sodium intake on cardiovascular disease risk, hypertension risk, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR): a range of intakes for a particular energy source that is associated with reduced risk of chronic disease while providing adequateamounts of essential nutrients. An AMDR is expressed as a percentage of total energy intake.

Symbol Legend

* Indicates an estimate that may be less statistically reliable than estimates that are not flagged. The rules for flagging estimates are as follows:

Mean: An estimated mean is flagged when based on a sample size of less than 30 times the variance inflation factor (VIF), where the VIF represents a broadly calculated average designeffect, or when the relative standard error is greater than 30 percent. The VIF used in this report is 2.21.

Percentiles: Estimated 50th percentile values are flagged when n is less than 30 times the VIF, where n is the sample size. Estimated values at the other percentiles are flagged when np is lessthan 8 times the VIF, where n is the sample size and p is 0.25 at the 25th and 75th percentile, 0.10 at the 10th and 90th percentile, and 0.05 at the 5th and 95th percentile.

Percentage above or below a DRI value: An estimated percentage between 25 and 75 percent is flagged when based on a sample size of less than 30 times the VIF, or when the relativestandard error is greater than 30 percent. An estimated percentage less than or equal to 25 or greater than or equal to 75 is flagged when the smaller of np and n(1-p) is less than 8 times theVIF, where n is the sample size and p is the percentage expressed as a fraction.

# Indicates a non-zero value too small to report.
